SBI/KM3 - Semantic Web
ECTS-Credits: 6.0
Summary: The goal of this module is to introduce Semantic Web vision and basic understanding
of Semantic Web technologies. The Semantic Web supports extensive possibilities
for automated interrelation and query of information and processes. In this context
Ontology as the building block of Semantic Web will be introduced and some important
properties of ontologies will be discussed. It will be also shown how ontologies can
support varied applications in dierent knowledge domains. This module also introduces
some emerging trends in ontologies and Semantic Web eld, such as Linked Open Data.
Furthermore, Based on the standard formats and languages such as XML, RDF(S)
and OWL, some technologies and tools are presented that facilitate semi-automatic integration
of various data sources. In this module mapping algorithms and interfaces for
semi-automatic alignment of data, based on recent research results will be introduced.
